Wdt720padm Parts

The Insulation is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for reducing noise and heat transfer during the dishwasher's operation. This insulation effectively dampens the sound generated by the dishwasher's motor, pump, and water spraying actions. It also helps to retain heat within the dishwasher, enhancing the drying performance and reducing energy consumption.

A bad insulation can occur due to wear and tear, water damage, or deterioration over time. If you notice symptoms such as increased noise levels during the dishwasher's operation, excessive heat escaping from the dishwasher, or reduced drying efficiency, it may be time to replace the insulation.

Symptoms of a bad insulation include:

• Increased noise levels during the dishwasher's operation
• Excessive heat escaping from the dishwasher
• Reduced drying efficiency

Repair your dishwasher by replacing the faulty or damaged insulation with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
